Colin Hay om: Zach. Bergweiler-Prüm Erben Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett Vieilles Vignes

(9.5% alcohol; 1348 bottles). The only tragedy here is the tiny number of bottles. Wow! An electrically brilliant wine. So bright and crisp and fresh and pixilated in its seemingly perfect capturing of pure fruit. Creamier, richer and fuller than the ‘Dry GG’ but with even more natural acidity to compensate. Peach kernel. Tarte au citron. Lemon meringue pie. As tense as a high wire trapeze artist in a tornado.

Decanter om: Zach. Bergweiler-Prüm Erben Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett Vieilles Vignes

Dried herbs and lemon rind, some bitter touches on the nose. This is immediately so satisfying on the palate, rich and honeyed, thick and sugary but not heavy at all. It’s like a burst of sherbet before the glorious fresh, ripe fruit comes flooding in, like a fruit salad compote - a mix of white and green fruit all mingling together. So juicy and alive, structured and so intense yet perfectly balanced and harmoniously presented. Complex but not overdone. You don't necessarily want to sit and think about this wine, just drink it down and enjoy. A wine that just makes you smile. Electric and absolutely glorious. If I could buy just one wine from the releases it would be this for the sheer enjoyment factor! Around 28.5g of residual sugar, 1,331 bottles made. The second vintage for three wines in this range on the Place de Bordeaux that is an homage to the historical winemaking traditions of Ernst Loosen's family.

Suckling om: Zach. Bergweiler-Prüm Erben Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett Vieilles Vignes

Very cool and delicate, also extremely youthful for six years old. The raciness and stony brilliance on the light- to medium-bodied palate are spectacular. The long maturation on the lees and the bottle maturation after that has created wonderfully elegant, dry harmony. Drink from release.

En af vuggerne for vindyrkning ved Mosel ligger i Bernkastel-Kues. I dag er den lille by fuldstændig overrendt af turister i mange weekender i løbet af året. Men væk fra den historiske bykerne ligger den internationalt anerkendte vingård Dr. Loosen.
